Management Commentary

"We are very happy with our performance in 2021," said Suri Suriyakumar, Chairman, President and CEO of ARC Document Solutions. "Despite the pressures of the pandemic in the first quarter, the company improved on every front in each of the following quarters. Our plans to expand our addressable markets met with great success, the efficiency of our new cost structure drove improvements throughout our operations, and we increased the value we returned to shareholders with our dividend program and stock repurchases."

"Even more gratifying was the success of our transformation in preparing for growth in the future," said Mr. Suriyakumar. "We haven't simply changed our targets for new business. We have ensured that each of our primary offerings serves an essential purpose for any business, broadening our appeal and improving our value proposition."

"The list of our accomplishments is a long one for 2021, with each one establishing a solid base to build on," said Jorge Avalos, ARC Chief Financial Officer. "Sales grew for three consecutive quarters, and we drove SG&A down and operating margins up. Net income and earnings per share were up more than 45% for the year, and we strengthened our balance sheet while returning shareholder value. The opportunities in front of us suggest another successful year in 2022."

2021 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Supplemental Information:

ARC has provided supplemental information to its earnings announcement in these pages to supply shareholders and analysts with additional information in advance of our quarterly conference call. As previously scheduled, the conference call will begin today, February 23, 2022 at 2:00 pm PST (5:00 pm EST) and will include brief comments followed by a question and answer period. Supplemental information will not be read on the call.

Fourth Quarter Overview

Demand for digital printing remained high across our customer base during the fourth quarter and included continuing interest in environmental graphics, marketing and promotional work, and digital plan printing. While opportunities for our MPS services remained constrained, the moderation of work-from-home directives are bringing employees back into offices and increasing demand for printing capabilities. Construction job sites using our MPS services remain busy. Remote document access requirements appear to be spurring demand for scanning and digital imaging services, regardless of where employees are working. Increased demand for equipment and supplies in North America revived domestic sales in the fourth quarter but was offset by declines in our Chinese joint venture as economic pressures there continue to constrain capital spending. We don't believe economic inflation in the U.S., Canada and abroad has materially affected our business over the past year as price increases in materials are typically passed on to our customers. Supply chain disruptions became more pronounced in the fourth quarter, manifesting as delays in acquiring printing equipment from manufacturers overseas. We did not experience difficulties in acquiring materials such as paper and other supplies during the fourth quarter.

Total Net Revenue
$272.2 $69.2 $72.4 $68.8 $61.7 $289.5 $64.3

In the fourth quarter 2021, net revenue increased 7.6%, or $4.9 million, compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 led by sales increases in Digital Printing and Scanning and Digital Imaging. Net revenue for full-year 2021 declined 6.0%, or $17.3 million, year-over-year compared to the full year of 2020, driven largely by the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during the first quarter of 2021, offset by year-over-year quarterly net sales growth in the remaining quarters of the year.

For the fourth quarter 2021, Digital Printing sales increased 8.1% compared to prior year, and for the full-year 2021 decreased 5.0% year-over-year. New sales for the quarter were driven by year-end and holiday demand from customers in new industry verticals, as well as healthy volume from digital plan printing from our construction-oriented customers. Declines for the year were primarily due to the $11.7 million year-over-year drop during the first quarter of 2021 resulting from the economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

For the fourth quarter 2021, Managed Print Services (MPS) sales increased 2.6% compared to prior year, and sales for full-year 2021 declined 8.7% as compared to 2020. The increase in fourth quarter MPS sales reflect a moderation of work-from-home directives in offices and continuing activity on construction job sites. The annual sales decline was driven by the weak start in the first quarter when most businesses kept employees from entering offices during the height of the pandemic.

For the fourth quarter 2021, Scanning and Digital Imaging sales increased 29.7% compared to prior year, and sales for the full-year 2021 increased 17.5% year-over-year as compared to the full year of 2020. Sales increases for both the fourth quarter and full year are attributable to renewed office activity as employees returned to their workplaces as the year progressed, and by marketing initiatives and sales efforts that attracted new clients throughout the year.

For the fourth quarter 2021, Equipment and Supplies sales increased 8.6% compared to prior year, and sales for the full-year 2021 declined 16.5% year-over-year as compared to the full year of 2020. The increase in the fourth quarter was driven by demand from offices and job sites as they re-opened to employees. The annual decrease in sales was primarily driven by the economic slowdown in China related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which decreased sales from UNIS Document Solutions Co. Ltd ("UDS"), our Chinese joint venture.

Gross Profit

Gross Margin

Fourth quarter gross profit improved by $1.6 million over the same period in 2020 driven by higher sales in the period. Gross profit for the year decreased $5.3 million in 2021, compared to prior year on lower sales volume. Despite lower sales, gross margin for the fourth quarter and full year improved slightly year-over-year driven by the new cost structure put in place in 2020, and through efforts to drive more work through our service centers to leverage our infrastructure, cross-trained workforce, and production-grade equipment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses
$72.3 $17.9 $18.8 $18.5 $17.0 $79.0 $18.2

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the fourth quarter declined 1.4% year-over-year, and for the full year 2021 declined 8.5% compared to the full year of 2020. The decreases were due to permanent cost saving activities from the new cost structure we put in place in 2020.

Quarterly and annual increases in GAAP net income and adjusted net income attributable to ARC, and quarterly and annual increases in GAAP and adjusted EPS in 2021 were primarily driven by the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses described above and decreases in interest expense, which were partially offset by the drop in gross profit resulting from the decline in sales.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

$35.8 $7.6 $11.3 $11.5 $5.4 $54.5 $15.5

Cash provided by operating activities in the fourth quarter 2021 decreased 50.8% year over year, and for the full-year 2021 decreased 34.3% year-over-year as compared to the full year of 2020.The decrease in cash flows from operations in 2021 reflect normalized levels of cash generation and collectibles for the period relative to the level of our sales. By contrast, our 2020 cash flows from operations benefited from the timing and collection of sales that occurred during the months leading up to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as aggressive measures implemented to manage working capital and preserve cash in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

EBITDA

FYE 2021 4Q 2021 3Q 2021 2Q 2021 1Q 2021 FYE 2020 4Q 2020
EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA
$41.7 $10.4 $11.5 $11.1 $8.8 $44.8 $10.2

Decreases in EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in the full year were driven by lower sales, partially offset by significant declines in SG&A expenses as noted above. As a result of continued cost optimization initiatives, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margins for the year remained relatively consistent compared to prior year despite the $17.3 million decline in sales. The slight increase in EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter were primarily due to the decline in SG&A expenses noted above.

Additional Information:

  • Cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet at the end of 2021 were $55.9 million.
  • The Company purchased 0.2 million of its own shares in the open market in the fourth quarter for $0.5 million, and in total, purchased 0.8 million of its own shares during the full-year 2021 for $1.9 million.
  • ARC's quarterly cash dividend for 2022 of five cents was announced on December 8, 2021 with a record date of January 31, 2022, and a payment date of February 28, 2022.
  • Total number of MPS locations at the end of the fourth quarter was approximately 10,780.

See Non-GAAP Financial Measures discussion below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA and related ratios presented in this report are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These measures are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, income from operations, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of our liquidity.

EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP measure calculated by dividing EBITDA by net sales.

We have presented EBITDA and related ratios because we consider them important supplemental measures of our performance and liquidity. We believe investors may also find these measures meaningful, given how our management makes use of them. The following is a discussion of our use of these measures.

We use EBITDA to measure and compare the performance of our operating segments. Our operating segments' financial performance includes all of the operating activities except debt and taxation which are managed at the corporate level for U.S. operating segments. We use EBITDA to compare the performance of our operating segments and to measure performance for determining consolidated-level compensation. In addition, we use EBITDA to evaluate potential acquisitions and potential capital expenditures.

EBITDA and related ratios have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:

  • They do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures and contractual commitments;
  • They do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
  • They do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary, to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
  • Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
  • Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA and related ratios should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in business growth or to reduce our indebtedness. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA and related ratios only as supplements.

Our presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA is an attempt to provide meaningful comparisons to our historical performance for our existing and future investors. The unprecedented changes in our end markets over the past several years have required us to take measures that are unique in our history and specific to individual circumstances. Comparisons inclusive of these actions make normal financial and other performance patterns difficult to discern under a strict GAAP presentation. Each non-GAAP presentation, however, is explained in detail in the reconciliation tables above.

Specifically, we have presented adjusted net income attributable to ARC and adjusted earnings per share attributable to ARC shareholders for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 to reflect the exclusion of changes in the valuation allowances related to certain deferred tax assets and other discrete tax items. This presentation facilitates a meaningful comparison of our operating results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

We have presented adjusted EBITDA for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 to exclude stock-based compensation expense. The adjustment of EBITDA for this item is consistent with the definition of adjusted EBITDA in our credit agreement; therefore, we believe this information is useful to investors in assessing our financial performance.
